    7 Hour Plane Crash Trail

    Hey all, so here are my thoughts. This is all really on public roads, so pulling over and camping just along the route probably isn't going to work unless you are off route at a campground. So when we went, we left Rhinelander at like 8am, drove to Crandon and then headed north. We got there...

    Hey Mike, sorry I don't recall much except mud and trees! But we're thinking of going back in mid August. Camping at the north end and working our way south in a day.

    Hayseed we have some trails that we mapped out around the Crandon area, but they don't extend terribly far unfortunately.

    Brittany, You can totally get on and off anywhere. That section, if memory serves, was old train track ORV route that mirrored highway 26. There were sections that were closed if I'm thinking about the right area. So yeah you can get on in Fulton, but I'm not aware of camping there. When I...

    7 Hour Plane Crash Trail

    Guys and gals, So we had a blast on this route last saturday. We left Rhinelander at 0700 and tore up to CH. We blew through and up to the end of the peninsula. The road started as gravel and quickly turned into a rocky, wooded, undulating route. It was amazing how many vehicles were trying...

    Sounds good. I'm assuming GMRS channel is 462.5750 MHz. Are you using a security channel as well? I'll set my radio to include that freq in my scan so hopefully I'll hear you if you transmit. Look for a string of Ford Raptors. That'll be us!

    So we're going to get up early Saturday morning and haul butt up to CH and then run the route in reverse. The idea being if it takes too long, we can peel off and take highway home. I have a place in Rhinelander so a bunch of guys are gonna stay with me and others will stay at local hotels...

    7 Hour Plane Crash Trail

    Friends, As there has been discussion about the difficulty of the trail, I wanted to comment. My wife and I drove Segment 1 from Crandon to Highway 70. I was in my Raptor and she was in her stock 2015 Explorer. The route out of Crandon is paved and moves to gravel in a couple miles. There...

    Thanks for the update. I don't think the wife and I are going to do too terribly much of this route. More of just something to do to get out of the house while we're up north.

    7 Hour Plane Crash Trail

    Hello friends. I'm new to the forum. Signed up just for this thread! So our local Chicago based Raptor group has a route created that centers around Crandon. Found out about this so anxious to try it out. We tentatively have a trip planned for late August, but I'm going up to my place in...
